My European Delivery pickup date is September 5th (could pick up earlier in August, but it didn't work with my schedule). I cannot wait for it!
Planning to fly into Stuttgart and then pickup in Sindelfingen, drive through the black forrest, followed by the Swiss Alps, Lake Como, and ending in Nice/Monaco. That's one way to put some break-in miles on the car before it arrives in the states!
For anyone ordering the Coupe in the states, they're offering a 5% discount + waiving the $925 destination fee. I highly recommend it -- you get a great discount and an amazing European vacation out of it!

Factory pick up is fantastic. I did it back in 2007 before MB UK ended that programme for us. The experience was absolutely first class. As you have stated Alex, highly recommend to anyone who can.

These last pictures are so incredible , the best I've seen so far, makes me really glad about the color choice. I wanted to do the factory pickup but really dont have the time to do that ... The waiting is really murdering !!!!!

I'm so excited for all you guys taking delivery soon, it makes it all that much harder for me to stick to my sworn doctrine of holding off until the upgraded latter batches arrive
The more I look at this coupe the greater the cravings
Looking forward to all of your reviews and impressions of this car when you all receive them

It finally happened
Some generic smartphone pics guys , I was in a rush! But look at what I finally got to see, sit in and briefly drive at MB Warrington today
The pictures haven't been doing this car justice, it needs to be seen to be believed.
Wasnt able to do a proper test drive but got to drive it around the dealership premises a bit. From that alone I've never got a bigger grin driving a car before (including the C63 Saloon)
And for the people who were disputing that the coupe sounds the same as the four doors. It's doesn't, it knocks the ball out of the park over the saloon on the noise front. I started the car in sport+ and wow, just wow... (and this was only a base C63)

Looks great and thanks for the review... I can't wait to see this now!
Did exterior look fat like the photos? Also, while sitting in the drivers seat did the cabin feel smaller in the front (compared to the sedan)?

Thanks for the photos Trim105!!!!
It must have felt surreal when you spotted it sitting there in the yard. Are those one of the standard wheel designs on it or something different?

I'd say from the third picture in real life does seem a bit fat towards the back from that angle (much curvier than its predecessor thats for sure), but apart from that its just the camera angles in the other photos, the proportions are great in real life don't worry and there is a hell of a difference between it and the normal coupe.
Didn't feel much smaller to me than when in the sedan, pretty much the same in fact.
Yep, standard rims, quite nice actually but I'm sticking with my cross-spokes

I should also add that the reviews were correct; even though my drive was extremely short I could notice that the coupe's ride quality is a noticeable improvement over the sedans. But honestly after hearing her soundtrack, I'd be happy just paying for that alone!

No problem Sanch, told you guys I'd try and get some pics for you all.

No problem RHRAUS! Oh you have no idea mate, I was a very happy camper indeed when I saw it there next to an equally stunning white GTS. There was also a new SL in brilliant blue which was quite stunning, the showroom itself is actually one of the nicest I've seen in the UK.

Must have been a nice experience Trim105 !! Always a huge difference to actually see the car in front of u then on pictures. There's a C300 coupe i spot everyday here in town.. makes me smile already, what will the AMG model be like then .. thats what I wonder !
From the looks and hearing it will be outstanding !

The coupe looks great, no doubt - Kind of the reason why I'm switching to the coupe.
However, after owning the car for a year now I can say it still makes a statement inside and out.
Also, which Kia model are you referring to?
